  • Yunnan Provincial Highway Bureau
    IPP740 REV World Bank-financed Yunnan Highway Assets management Project Public Disclosure Authorized Ethnic Minority Development Plan of the Yunnan Highway Assets Management Project Public Disclosure Authorized Public Disclosure Authorized Yunnan Provincial Highway Bureau July 2014 Public Disclosure Authorized EMDP of the Yunnan Highway Assets management Project Summary of the EMDP A. Introduction 1. According to the Feasibility Study Report and RF, the Project involves neither land acquisition nor house demolition, and involves temporary land occupation only. This report aims to strengthen the development of ethnic minorities in the project area, and includes mitigation and benefit enhancing measures, and funding sources. The project area involves a number of ethnic minorities, including Yi, Hani and Lisu. B. Socioeconomic profile of ethnic minorities 2. Poverty and income: The Project involves 16 cities/prefectures in Yunnan Province. In 2013, there were 6.61 million poor population in Yunnan Province, which accounting for 17.54% of total population. In 2013, the per capita net income of rural residents in Yunnan Province was 6,141 yuan. 3. Gender Heads of households are usually men, reflecting the superior status of men. Both men and women do farm work, where men usually do more physically demanding farm work, such as fertilization, cultivation, pesticide application, watering, harvesting and transport, while women usually do housework or less physically demanding farm work, such as washing clothes, cooking, taking care of old people and children, feeding livestock, and field management. In Lijiang and Dali, Bai and Naxi women also do physically demanding labor, which is related to ethnic customs. Means of production are usually purchased by men, while daily necessities usually by women.

  • Exploring the Ethnic Art & Culture of Yunnan Province
    Exploring the Ethnic Art & Culture of Yunnan Province And Kicking Off the Inaugural Denver-Kunming Sister Cities Art Exchange in Kunming A Denver Sister Cities tour supporting the first Denver-Kunming Art Exchange and focusing on traditional minority group arts such as weaving, dying, ceramics and painting in the exotic areas of Kunming, Dali, Xizhou and Shaxi 12 Days / 10 Nights October 30–November 10, 2018 Optional Beijing Add-on Tour Also Available Tour Program Summary Yunnan Province, located in Southwest China, stands distinctly apart from other regions of China. Within this single province—unmatched in the complexity and scope of its history, landscape and peoples—you will find a mix of geography, climates and nationalities that elsewhere it would take an entire continent to express. Yunnan, which translates to “South of the Clouds,” was traversed by the fabled Tea Horse Road, an important trading network that rivaled the importance of the Silk Road. Home to almost half of China's 54 minority groups, Yunnan offers a wide range of traditional culture, arts and dress. This trip coincides with the inaugural Denver-Kunming Art Exchange which kicks off November 2, 2018, with an opening reception at a Kunming gallery. The exhibit’s theme of “Women Artists of the American West” will feature acrylic paintings by women artists from the Denver-Boulder Metro area. Artists from Kunming will exhibit in Denver the following year. Beginning with several days exploring beautiful, cosmopolitan Kunming (the “City of Eternal Spring”) and enjoying the Art Exchange festivities, this guided 12-day trip will take you to several cities and towns in Yunnan, including the ancient independent Kingdom of Dali and the magical Shaxi and Xizhou towns.

  • Evaluation and Monitoring of Urban Public Greenspace Planning Using Landscape Metrics in Kunming
    sustainability Article Evaluation and Monitoring of Urban Public Greenspace Planning Using Landscape Metrics in Kunming Min Liu 1,2, Xiaoma Li 3, Ding Song 4 and Hui Zhai 1,* 1 Faculty of Architecture and City Planning, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China; [email protected] 2 College of Landscape Architecture and Horticulture Sciences, Southwest Forestry University, Kunming 650224, China 3 College of Landscape Architecture and Art Design, Hunan Agricultural University, Changsha 410128, China; [email protected] 4 Campus Greening Center, Kunming University of Science and Technology, Kunming 650500, China; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-0871-6591-7181 Abstract: Urban greenspace planning plays a crucial role in improving the quality of human settle- ments and the living standard of citizens. Urban public greenspace (UPGS) is an important part of urban greenspaces. Existing literature rarely includes a scientific evaluation of greenspace plans (including of UPGS) and plan implementation effects. To bridge this gap, this study evaluated and monitored the UPGS plan enacted in 2010 in Kunming, China. Object-based image classification and visual interpretation of satellite images and Google Earth imagery were used to quantify the different periods of UPGS implementation. Six indicators and monitoring at four classic sites were applied to explore the change at two scales (overall scale and district scale) for monitoring the UPGS plan execu- tion. The results showed that UPGS structure greatly improved after plan implementation. However, Citation: Liu, M.; Li, X.; Song, D.; UPGS provision per capita has not reached the level of greenspace planning and the connectivity Zhai, H.

  • Baicheng and Xianghai, Jilin, China
    Yunnan and Guangxi, China 25 December 2003 – 3 January 2004 Björn Anderson Lijiang’s Black Dragon Pool with Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the background. General This trip was primarily a family vacation trip with some birding stuck in between, especially in Yunnan, where I was able to get a few interesting birds. From a birding perspective the best bird was undoubtedly the Yunnan Nuthatch at Lijiang, closely followed by Giant Nuthatch, Brown-winged Parrotbill and Black-bibbed Tit. Three new Alcippe species were also a real highlight. Itinerary 25/12 Left Beijing at lunchtime on Christmas Day and arrived Kunming in Yunnan three hours later. The weather was a lot more pleasant although a jacket was required. Surprisingly enough it was the kind of airport where people were not hovering over you to offer taxi- rides. We quickly went downtown to our prebooked hotel, Holiday Inn, which apparently had changed ownership. A late afternoon stroll along the main streets before we got into a nice restaurant and had “noodles from across the bridge”, which is the traditional food in Yunnan. Nice local dancing performance was entertaining for the kids. 26/12 A full day to Shilin, the Stone Forest. It is a very fascinating geological place to visit about 100 km southeast of Kunming. With our taxi it took almost two hours to get there, although a quarter of that time was spent getting out of Kunming itself. The weather was grey and gloomy with some drizzle. Fortunately it improved slightly when we were at the Stone Forest. In the late afternoon we stopped at Daguan, which is a park just south of Kunming on the shore of Dian Chi Lake.

  • Did Government Expenditure on the Grain for Green Project Help the Forest Carbon Sequestration Increase in Yunnan, China?
    land Article Did Government Expenditure on the Grain for Green Project Help the Forest Carbon Sequestration Increase in Yunnan, China? Ya’nan Lu 1,2, Shunbo Yao 1,2,*, Zhenmin Ding 1,2, Yuanjie Deng 1,2 and Mengyang Hou 1,2 1 College of Economics and Management, Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, Xianyang 712100, China; [email protected] (Y.L.); [email protected] (Z.D.); [email protected] (Y.D.); [email protected] (M.H.) 2 Economic and Environmental Management Research Center, Northwest Agriculture and Forestry University, Xianyang 712100, China * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 16 January 2020; Accepted: 10 February 2020; Published: 13 February 2020 Abstract: Reasonably assessing the effectiveness of government expenditure on the Grain for Green project (GFG) in providing forest carbon sequestration would contribute to the development of China’s forest carbon sequestration. Using the government expenditure data from the GFG in Yunnan Province from 2001 to 2015 and the MODIS Land Cover Type (MCD12Q1) time-series datasets, we calculated the forest carbon sequestration of various counties (cities or districts). The impacts of GFG government expenditure on forest carbon sequestration were empirically evaluated by the least squares dummy variables method (LSDV). The research results indicate that a 1% increase in government expenditure on the GFG yielded a 0.0364% increase in forest carbon sequestration. However, the effects of GFG government expenditure on forest carbon sequestration differed greatly in different areas because of the diversity of the natural environments, forest resource endowment, and government policies. If the initial forest endowment was not considered, the effectiveness of government expenditure on the GFG in providing forest carbon sequestration would have been overestimated.

  • $ 6885/Trimester
    $ 6885/Trimester About Minds Abroad Minds Abroad is a U.S based organization that conducts programs on both sides of the Pacific: we bring both Asian students to the United States and Western students to Asia. Because of the way our programs engage our participants with local communities, Minds Abroad was recently named a ”Top Ten Best Practices Program” by the Center for Citizen Diplomacy in conjunction with the U.S. State Department. We design programs that inspire participants to understand global issues and our innovative curriculum is both eye opening and transformational. More than simply a study abroad experience or a student tour, Minds Abroad's programs take participants on a deep journey of discovery of local cultures. While focusing on understanding a different culture on a local level, we help participants to understand global issues and become full global citizens. Program Introduction To fully understand China, it should be experienced through insight into its many different sides, its many different faces, most of which are rarely seen by foreign visitors. From modern metropolises filled with neon and skyscrapers, which almost all Western visitors pass through, to dozens of medium-sized cities in the country’s interior where far fewer outsiders visit, to thousands of smaller traditional villages spread out through the vast countryside many of which many have never been seen by Westerners, the opportunities to see China’s many faces and people are plenty. In fact, one of the most fascinating parts of China is the Himalayan Plateau which covers over one third of the country and is home to dozens of isolated and ancient cultures.
